I woulld love to work at a hedge fund or a trading company but since I don't have experiene in a similar company or prestigious education, I feel like I have no chance at all of even getting an interview. I would love to know how realistic it is to get a job at one of these companies with a non-conventional background or if I should give up trying.

- makerdiety 2y agoIt is very unrealistic to land a gig at places like Goldman Sach if you don't have the socio-culturally compliant identification card that is bullshit education. There is really no point in trying.
